EXTREMELY stinky straight out of the box, but has promise.

The first night straight out of the box, the pillow REEKED of some chemical smell. I felt very well supported as a combination side/back sleeper, but woke up with a headache because of the smell. The pillow has now been airing out for almost a month and there is still a faint chemical smell, so I will be letting it air out some more before I try sleeping on it again.
I have been using the Faux Down pillow for about a month, so far I have really enjoyed this pillow. Initially I was concerned for use with side sleeping due to the softness, but with my sleeping style I have found it to work very well for side sleeping and overall fantastic for back sleeping. For the last year or longer I have been using the shredded foam pillow (first generation, prior to adjustable foam density) finding it to be a touch firm for sleeping on my back creating some cervical discomfort. The Faux Down pillow has solved this issue and I have been sleeping great, the shredded pillow has transitioned to my "knee" pillow and I have been very satisfied.
I had used other pillows in the past and consistently woke with neck pain, no matter how well I slept. After a few nights on this pillow, I no longer woke up with pain- and it has not come back for over a month. Absolutely thrilled.
